Study the Looking Glass.

l read a sensible article in London news
paper the other day recommending people to
study their countenances by aid OF their mir
rors. As a general thing, it is not necessary
TO tell your acouaintances to look in the
glass. They do SO without being told, and
every one is aware when she does her face
wears an expression quite unlike that seen by
other eyes. Disappointment at the reflection,
for the vision rarely comes up TO the expecta-
tious and hopes of the vaineSt mortal, per-
hans, but as far as animation goes there IS
not a trace in the best French plate ever
made This writer suggests her readers should
make a practice of smiling and talking, II
not eating. before their mirrors, just to OBJ
serve and correct the grimaces with which
they favor the world around them. One OF
the first lessons singer receives should be
this. to watch her countenance while singing.
Precisely as an actor or actress studies
part before glass, SO should the non-profes-
sional society man or woman learn how 10
smile, to be charming, not to screw their
faces into knots, OF to fall into tricks with
such features as nature has blessed them
with. An agreeable smile, without affecta-
ton, a graceful carriage, are only results Of
training, and they become habits quite as
easily as less pleasing tricks and mannerisns.
There are people who appear tolerably well
in repose, yet the instant they speak or laugh
change to the grotesque and worry the be-
holder almost to death. A quite pretty
actress, who has been seen more or less in
society, spoils the contour of her face the III
slant she opens her mouth to speak. little
control of the muscles of the lips would obvi-
ate the fault and make her far more interest
ing. But wouldn't this study of the counte-
nance make one very self conscious! asks the
reader. Possibly it might; yet, as self con-
sciousness is prevailing sin, 1 see no reason
why one cannot add to it the grace of ex-
preston, and thus neutralize its evil effect. 4
sweet and gracious manner is always worth
cultivating, even if it takes a mirror to bring

The SIeditated Suicide.

Speaking of sUicides-there have been sever

about thenl-a story is told confdentially by a

Peculiar Psychological Experiments.

A recent issue of Mind contains an account
of an interesting series of experiments on the
limit of the capacity to repeat series of
sounds after hearing them read once. A
German experimenter, Ebbinghaus, had
studied the powers of the memory by count
ing the number of times given series of nom
sense syllables had to be repeated in order to
enable the hearer to reproduce them by rote.
Mr. Joseph Jacobs with the cooperation of
Mr.. Sully, Mr.. Read and Mrs. Bryant has
carried a similar means of testing the
memory Tor, as they more accurately call it,
the 'prehension'0 into the school room. The
method was somewhat simpler. Instead of
nonsense syllabIes for instance, dak-mil-tak-
bin-roz), which are very disturbing, the
names of the letters (omitting double IN and
of the numerals (omitting seven) were chosen;
and the maximum number of letters and
numbers that a child could repeat after one
reading was called its span" Care was
taken to pronounce the words as monotonous-
ly and as regularly as possible in order to
avoid any assistance to the memory from a
more or less deciSed rhythm. The numbers
of letters were dictated to the class, each
member of which then usually wrote down
as accurately as possible the series of letters
or numbers. The results thus reached were
quite Neutrality-suspicious.

Saved the Notes.

a doctor named Francois earned a hundred
francs the other day and had good deal of
fun into the bargain A ladys pet dog swaI-
lowed bank note of the value of l 900 francs
1t was such an accident as has happened be-
fore in the worlds history, and it has usually
resulted, when the amount lost was large, in
the immediate death of the dog. In this case
the lady would have sacrificed the bank note
rather than the innocent pup, so she set out
at once for the office of her family physician,
DR.. Francois. The doctor was at first amused
and then puzzled. The lady was sure the dog
had not chewed the note all to pieces, and she
offered the physician 10 per cent. if he should
saveit. He would have done his best to please
a client and so he tried the only remedy that
seemed to offer hope. Doggy was placed in a
chair and pan was put in front OF him.
Then the physician administered an emetic.
The dog took a whole glassful without protest
and without effect, while his mistress stood
by anxiously. After that the dog seemed dis
inclined to swallow more, but little was
forced down his throat and then the smell of
the dose became so disagreeable that what
had been taken speedily appeared and, happy
to relate the thousand franc note included.
1t was intact and only needed patient dry
ing. Doggy recovered in half hour-Paris

A Check Upon the Tongue.

Mrs. Joseph Carey, wife of the delegate
from Wyoming territory, while in no sense
"strong minded" woman, is an ardent believer
in female suffrage. She has seen the practical
working of the system in Wyoming, and pro-
nounces as absurd the common argument that
the right of suffrage unsexes woman At
an evening party recently where Mrs. Carey
was giving utterance to these sentiments, Sen
ator Wade Hampton blandly interposed the
remark:
"But, of course, you always vote as your
husband instructs you, do you not?"
Mrs. Carey's black eyes snapped merrily as
she replied.
"Indeed we do not. The first time that my
husband ran for Office voted against him,
and my mother supported him. The next
time we both opposed him. In each case we
thought the other man would make the better
officer. / mention this to show that in our
family, at least, the women use their right of
suffrage about as they please. Moreover, the
ronferrins of this power upon women has
good moral effect, especially upon those
whose husbands are politicians. You may be-
ieve that where every woman is permitted to
vote the wives of the politicians are very chary
about unduly criticising the other women.
To do so means the creation of enemies for
your husband, who can work him great in
jury if they choose. 1t is a powerful check
upon the tongue, assure you. w Washington

Queer Fuel in California.

A correspondent of Los Angeles paper,
speaking of fuel, says that it is very scarce in
Los Angeles county. In chilly weather, when
necessary to keep fire all day, he uses what
is called "brea-" 1t is crude petroleum, which
runs out of the hills in many places in the
southern counties. The hot sun evaporates
the liquid part, or the coal oil, leaving the
dregs, or the solid part, on the surface, which
can be broken into chunks when cold and is
then ready for use. A fire of wood is made
and some of the "brea" put on, which, when
it gets hot, melts and covers the wood, caus-
ing it to burn very slowly. Without wood
the "brea" would melt and run in the ash
pan. One cord of wood and one ton of 'brea, !"
which only costs So per ton, will last as long
as three cords Of wood.-Sacramento Bee.

The Vegetarian Creed.

The strongest argument in favor of vege-
tarianism is its powers as a preventive
against intemperance. A diet of vegetables
kills all desire for drink This has been tried
and found eminently successful Sir Charles
Napier, the London scientist, at a lecture de-
ivered at Bristol said that twenty-seven pa
tents had been cured of their intemperance
through the close following of this form of
diet. The system belongs to Liebig, the Ger
man chemist.
Il myself have been vegetarian for thirty
yeas and l wish had always been one. An
imgi food is often impure and diseased and it
sxcltes the worst passions Of man. Vege-
tables, fruits, nuts and milk, on the contrary,
are almost, if not quite asnutritious and have
none Of the bad results. OF course, a beginner
makes many mistakes He tries to exist on
nothing but vegetables, making no change in
his diet but the disuse of meats.
"Ihe result is he becomes weak and it is some
time and not until lie has experimental on
himself and found what best suits his palate
that he receives the real benefit of the sys-
tenn. .n-Philadelphia Press.

Daily Drinking in New York.


On the contrary there never was q time in
my experience when daily drinking was so
universally a habit as now. Old men and
young men drink, and, worse, boys of tender
years follow their example. Brokers drink
because they are excited; dry goods dealers
drink because trade is dull; all manner of ex-
cuses are made by people who need make
none, and fortunes are coined by men whose
mental faculty is sharpened to the point of
appreciation of the fact that appetite is
stronger than principle, and some of the most
palatial residences in this city are owned by
individuals who, twenty years ago, were bar
keepers in other peoples. saloons, but upon
whom the tide of fortune flooded as soon as
they opened places of their own. Our chief
streets are lined with saloons of the gorgeous
type have referred to, and certain localities,
which a few brief years ago were recognized
as our choicest streets for residences, are now
